Could Avatars Encourage Content Creation?

I am planning on using a pretty creative technology service provider called Voki for a lesson.

The idea is to let students create avatars for their work, and also use different avatars to send them prompts to take a project to the next level.

Here’s one such avatar, for a project on the Polar Vortex which we began working on last week, when covering animation.

I’m going to surprise my class next week with this character!
